The Collector Points System awards points to collections
based upon the values & quantities of the books in the collection.

Diminishing points are awarded for each book in a collection,
starting with full points for the first copy, for example,
+5points are awarded for a book listed as $5 in the guide.
Having two copies of a $5 book is worth 5 times the square root of 2 (+7.07).
This is +5 points for the first copy, and +2.07 points for the second copy.
Having three copies of a $5 book is worth 5 times the square root of 3 (+8.66).
This is +5 points for the first copy, +2.07 points for the second copy,
and +1.59 points for the third copy, for a total of +8.66.

The general formula for points is (guide value of the book) times
(the square root of the quantity of the book), for each book in a collection.

The idea is to differentiate clearly between points awarded for a $50 book (+50points)
and points that are awarded for having 50 copies of a $1 book (+7.07points).

While one copy of a $50 book and 50 copies of a $1 book would both be worth $50,
there is a big difference to a serious collector between the importance of owning
the $50 book as opposed to multiple copies of a $1 (very common) book.

Complete% is the percent of listed titles which are represented
in a collection by at least one copy. Collectors may have personal definitions
of a 100% complete collection which may be different from this list.
(Note: about 475 books, around 60% of the Valiant titles are $2 or less, for about +625points.)

Some of the collections listed use the nicknames of users on the
